Take a Wife Lyrics by Terry Talbot

No Longer Alone

0

There's a country girl
Waitin' in a long dress
Happiness, Lord, she's sayin' yes
To everything you'd ever wanted to do
Look out, boy, she's in love with you
You've been caught like a courtin' fool
And though you say she'd take you
Where you never been
Ain't no less lover
But she's more than a friend
Set down, brother
Come time to decide
You can't play games
She knows your lines
Happens all the time
And you take a wife
If the good Lord will
And then you opеn up your eyes
And live a lifе
Find a good woman
Now there's lots of folks movin' so fast
They think that marriage
Is a thing in the past
And maybe they're just afraid to let go
'Cause a longtime love
Is the hardest thing I know
It's got to come from your soul
When you take a wife
If the good Lord will
And then you open up your eyes
And live a life
Find a good woman
Do-do-do-do-do
And she's your helpin' hand
Do-do-do-do-do
And you're her only man
That don't mean she end up on a shelf
Got to love that woman
More than you're lovin' yourself
It's sounds so easy, but it's hard to do
Pray sweet Jesus help you through
And you say, "I do"
And you take a wife
If the good Lord will
And then you open up your eyes
And live a life
Find a good woman
Take a wife
If the good Lord will
And then you open up your eyes
And live a life
Find a good woman
